Greatbow, 2nd Variant (5e Equipment)

Martial Ranged Weapons

This behemoth of a greatbow stands taller than most people, designed to fire custom-made greatarrows for taking down great beasts. Due to the immense force required to pull the string and fire this weapon, a spike affixed to its lower tip is required to dig into the ground so the wielder can properly pull it all the way back.

The greatbow's greatarrows weigh 1 lb. each, and are too large to be compatible with normal bows.

The greatbow has the following additional properties due to its massive proportions:

• You have disadvantage on attack rolls with this weapon, unless your Strength score is 17 or higher.
• You have disadvantage on attack rolls made against targets closer than 20 feet, unless your Dexterity score is 15 or higher.

Expensive. A character can never gain this weapon as starting equipment from their class.
